President Trump didn’t just shut down the government to score political points—he’s trying to shut down the truth.
As investigations close in on Epstein’s network, his allies are now blocking Congress from being sworn in. They’re terrified of transparency.

Despite strong objections from Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and the people of Chicago, the Trump regime is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago today.

If you are in Chicago and need guidance on how to interact with the Guard, here’s a helpful guide:
